You guys are lucky. 'Round here in Detrois, pledge week usually includes
the self-help freaks (Wayne Dyer, some weird old codger w/o wrinkles, a
financial advisor, etc.), geezer rock concerts, and the strange
Euro-orchestra that wears weird costumes and all their singers use headset
mics. I'd much prefer the usual fare.

*Sudden thought: If they wanted me to give more, they could threaten to
have a pledge fortnight...

For insomniacs, the regular late night programs resume after 11 PM. My
favorite right now is Waiting For God.

Tschuss,
